Swift page builder in category description

[sopmarteau]

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any way to activate the swiftpage builder for categories descriptions? I have installed the plugin Woocommerce brand and it created me brands categories, just like product categories. I would like to custom this brand category with columns, images, etc.. using the swiftpage builder…

Thanks in advance!
Sophie

Hi,

Unfortunately that’s not possible using the Page Builder in the categories.
But will forward your suggestion to the development team.

For some reason it doesn’t seem to upload, can you try using an image hosting service?

While you can’t use the page builder there, you can try and copy the shortcodes across from a page where you have created the content.

We’ll consider functionality there in future updates.

Thanks,

Seems to be because WooCommerce doesn’t process shortcodes there. Try adding this code to your functions.php file (ideally in child theme).

if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description' ) ) {
	/**
	 * Show an archive description on taxonomy archives.
	 *
	 * @subpackage	Archives
	 */
	function woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description() {
		if ( is_tax( array( 'product_cat', 'product_tag' ) ) && 0 === absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ) {
			$description = wc_format_content( term_description() );
			if ( $description ) {
				echo '<div class="term-description">' . do_shortcode($description) . '</div>';
			}
		}
	}
}
if ( ! function_exists( 'woocommerce_product_archive_description' ) ) {
	/**
	 * Show a shop page description on product archives.
	 *
	 * @subpackage	Archives
	 */
	function woocommerce_product_archive_description() {
		// Don't display the description on search results page
		if ( is_search() ) {
			return;
		}
		
		if ( is_post_type_archive( 'product' ) && 0 === absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ) {
			$shop_page   = get_post( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
			if ( $shop_page ) {
				$description = wc_format_content( $shop_page->post_content );
				if ( $description ) {
					echo '<div class="page-description">' . do_shortcode($description) . '</div>';
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Hello Ed,

unfortunately it didn’t change anything… I put it in my child theme function.php just after “load text language”.

Hmm it appears that the do_shortcode is already ran, so it may be due to something needed to be changed in the page builder. Unfortunately we don’t have any other code we can provide a the moment. As we said, we’ll do our best to support this in the future.
